Inscription: inscription : printed : lower centre & recto : : 'Great Mogul's Landlord, of both Indies King, / Wose self-admiring fame doth loudly ring; / Writes fourscore Years, more Kingdoms he hath right to, / The Stars say so, and for them he will fight too [colon] / And though this worthless Age, will not believe him, / But clatter, spatter, slander, scoff, to grieve him; / Yet He and all the World in this agree, / That such another Toole will never be. //
